This is my first go at Python so any feedback on, or improvements to, the code are very welcome.</p> <p>Rather than going into the world of GUI's I have made use of a new document within PN to display the output, I'd be interested to know how well this works for you on your systems.</p> <p><a href="http://scriptshare.rocketmonkeys.com/script/30" rel="nofollow">http://scriptshare.rocketmonkeys.com/script/30</a></p> <p>If you want suggestions for keyboard shortcuts to bind this to Netbeans uses Alt + Shift + O (for Open) and Eclipse uses Ctrl + Shift + R (for Resource).

The Mark All button highlights all occurrences of the search term to be hightlighted, but this highlighting is barely visible on a dark background theme. Is there a way to change the highlighting color?</p> <p>2. Is there a way to unmark all marked items? (As a workaround, I can search for and mark a different sequence.)</p> <p>3. When replacing all, is there a way to make it stop at the end of the document, not continue from the top?</p> <p>Then I have a feature request related to this:</p> <p>If one just did a Replace, I would like F3 to repeat the replace, instead of just repeating the find. Or have a command and keypress that repeats the replace operation. For example, in the Borland Delphi 7 IDE one can start a replace operation and replace one or more occurrences, then close the dialog, move the cursor around, type, etc, then press Ctrl+L to do another replace operation without going back to the dialog. If the last thing was a find operation, then Ctrl+L repeats that instead.</p> <p>I will also try to add this request in Google Code. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/344#post-1208 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:22:50 +0000 macdonag 1208@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi, first of all congrats on the neew release.</p> <p>Now, down to the bug report :-)</p> <p>The find dialog doesn't accept unicode chars.

"Match whole word" and "Match case" also doesn't seem to work with RegExp.</p> <p>So this seems to be a bug or maybe the options should be organized differently e.g.:<br /> <code><br /> * Simple search expressions<br /> [] Match case<br /> [] Match whole word<br /> [] Allow backslash expressions<br /> * Regular expressions<br /> </code></p> <p>BTW I've entered a wish for Find/Replace about PCRE parentheses matching (tagged expressions):<br /> <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=87" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=87</a><br /> That would be an option in Regexp:<br /> <code><br /> * Simple search expressions<br /> [] Match case<br /> [] Match whole word<br /> [] Allow backslash expressions<br /> * Regular expressions<br /> [] PCRE tagged expressions<br /> </code></p> <p>Having said all that I believe at least "Match case" should also be available for RegExp. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/391#post-1372 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:19:31 +0000 jakeahearts 1372@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I'm fairly new with PN after having too many problems with jedit...

If I open another file, it opens an additional tab. If I haven't modified the new pane, it would be nice if the file I've just opened replaced the 'new' file tab, because otherwise I'd close it anyway.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> graham </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/337#post-1193 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:14:52 +0000 ashwin 1193@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hello All,</p> <p>i have been having a wierd problem for several weeks now.</p> <p>When I do a Ctrl+f and type something in "Find What" it starts doing a partial auto fill if the first charecter is in the left half of the keyboard :) - Wierd Problem Description!<br /> For eg:<br /> I do a ctrl+f and start typing "First" - it will start suggesting words starting with F that I had typed earlier - inline! - omitting "F".
